The Garden Says…

This is the garden. In this experience there is no game, there is no story to follow… It is an investigation into meetings. Meetings between human and nature, between human and technology, and most importantly, meetings between human and human.
“The Garden Says…” invites participants into an immersive ecosystem where VR and live performance merge. Several players enter a hand-painted virtual garden, their dream-like movements creating a living scenography. Analogue and digital worlds intertwine, revealing connections between humans, nature, and technology. What encounters might transform our perception of reality, connection, and existence in this kaleidoscopic landscape of emergence and understanding?
